I am a Research Associate at Insight @ NUIG. I am working in the Unit for Natural Language Processing (UNLP) under the supervision of Dr. Paul Buitelaar, working mainly on data and knowledge visualisation in the context of several projects [1], designing and developing user interfaces for knowledge presentation, exploration and discovery.

[1] The projects are concerned with the application and extension of our text mining platform Saffron (http://saffron.insight-centre.org/) to a variety of use cases, including eCommerce and news editing.

Development of front-end services enabling knowledge navigation, by use of text mining and Linked Data based technologies such as topic extraction, taxonomy generation, entity linking, and sentiment analysis.

Assisting in experiments at understanding usability and user behaviour with Saffron and other relevant tools and prototypes.

The Insight Centre for Data Analytics is a joint initiative between researchers at Dublin City University, NUI Galway, University College Cork, University College Dublin and other partner institutions. Insight brings together more than 400 researchers from these institutions, with over 40 industry partners, to position Ireland at the heart of global data analytics research.
